Who is the figure in front of the temple?

In the novel The Journey to the West, it is said that the old dragon in Jinghe near Chang 'an made a bet with the fortune teller and broke the dogma. The Jade Emperor sent Wei Zhi to supervise and beheaded the old dragon at 3 noon. The day before, Lao Long asked Tang Taizong to intercede for him, and Tang Taizong readily agreed. The next day, Emperor Taizong announced that Wei Zhi had entered the DPRK and left Wei Zhi to accompany him to play Go. Unexpectedly, at three o'clock at noon, Wei Zhi dozed off and dreamed of beheading the old dragon. Lao Long resented Emperor Taizong's treachery, pestered him, and made trouble in the palace every day, which made the six gods of Emperor Taizong uneasy. Knowing that the emperor was afraid, Wei Zhi sent two generals and Weichi Gong to guard the palace gate. Sure enough, the old dragon dared not make trouble. Emperor Taizong remembered their hard work of guarding the door at night, so he asked the painter to paint their portraits and stick them at the palace gate. The result still worked. As a result, this move began to spread among the people, and Weichi Gong became a keeper.

Weichi Gong took Strafe.

It is said that there is a legend that one day, Emperor Taizong dreamed that a general came to him for help. The general said, "I am the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the Jade Emperor ordered me to rain on the ground. Alas! I went late, so that the rivers dried up, the land cracked and the country was dry. The jade emperor was furious when he learned that, and sentenced me to death. Your minister Wei Zhi will supervise the beheading at noon tomorrow. At that time, if you can find a way to prevent Wei Zheng from coming, I can live. " Emperor Taizong sympathized with the Dragon King and agreed to his request.

Early the next morning, Emperor Taizong asked Kevin·Z to play chess with him. From morning till noon, Wei Zhi was so tired that he took a nap. Who knows that he was beheaded in his dream.

From then on, the ghost of the sea dragon king came to Tang Taizong every night, complaining that he had broken his word and cried for his life outside the palace day and night. Emperor Taizong told his ministers that General Qin Baoshu was willing to stand outside the door with Wei Chijingde in uniform. Emperor Taizong agreed. There was really nothing that night. Emperor Taizong couldn't bear the hardships of the two generals, and ordered Dan Qing, a highly skilled painter, to draw the true faces of the two generals and stick them on the door. Careful observation revealed that one of them was holding Strafe and the other was holding an iron mace.

About the door god,

1, the earliest keeper, are two "Ren Tao" carved from mahogany.

2. In the Tang Dynasty, another watchman, Zhong Kui, appeared. He not only caught ghosts, but also ate them. Therefore, people often put images of Zhong Kui on their doors on New Year's Eve or Dragon Boat Festival to drive away evil spirits.

3. Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong are five door gods. They were worshipped as door gods only after the Yuan Dynasty, but they were actually from the Tang Dynasty.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, the door gods of military commanders all over the country were different, and they were different from those of Beijing. For example, the door gods worshipped by Henan people are Zhao Yun and Ma Chao of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. People in Hebei worship Ma Chao and Ma Dai, while people in northwest Hebei worship Xue and Gaisu in Tang Dynasty. Shaanxi people worship Sun Bin and Pang Juan, Taihe Yang. And stationed in Hanzhong area are mostly two idiots, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan.

In addition to the above influential door gods, General Wen and Marshal Yue were both door gods in Suzhou in the old days.
